Jude fidgeted. Everyone in Hermes cabin was staring at her. Mr. D had been able to get Dianne out, but she had told everyone about how Jude attacked Zachary. Zachary had confirmed it. Now everyone was looking at her funny, avoiding her. Even her cabin counceler! She spent a lot of time with Hestia. She fidgeted again. One person jerked away, as if expecting to be locked into stone, too. Jude slid off her bunk and walked with Alice Ridley to the hearth in the center of the cabins.

Hestia was there... with Mr. D.

"Hello Judith. It seems that the Big Three want you on Mt. Olympus."

"The-the Big Three? I thought that..."

"Lord Hades was allowed on Olympus due to... the special circumstances surrounding your parentage."

"My parentage?"

Mr. D shifted his weight. "I'm taking you to Olympus, kid, you're meeting the Big Three. They can explain."

Jude nodded.

Gulp.

Olympus was beautiful. That could barely describe it. As Mr. D led Jude through the city, her eyes grew bigger, and bigger, and bigger. It was so pretty. There were people playing music, talking, chatting, whatever. It was like paradise. Mr. D led her to a pretty, ornamental room, with silvery marble and white gold trinkets, and spindly furniture, like from a story book. There were three men sitting in there, one with black hair and blue eyes, one with graying black hair and green eyes, and one with black hair and black eyes. They looked very similar to her. The blue one leaned forward a little, and Jude realised with a start that they had been studying her as intently as she was them.

She bowed hastily. "Erm, uh, s-sorry, sirs. Hello." Why wasn't there a talking to gods class at Camp?

"So you're the one that they're saying is my child." It was the one with black eyes. Lord Hades. She nodded.

"That's what all the campers say when they think I can't hear. Um, are you lot going to kill me?" She twisted the hem of her Camp shirt as she spoke, and watched as Hades gave Zeus and Posiedon quick glares.

"I should think not. However... you do not feel as if you are mine. Not entirely. Brothers, what do you think?"

The blue-eyes one, she guessed that he was Zeus, considered her for a second. "You are right. She seems..."

"Like all three of us?" The green one, Posiedon, she thought. He was wearing beach clothes.

The others nodded. Jude raised her hand a little. "We-ell... Did any of you have sex about six years ago?"

The gods all choked a little. "P-Pardon?" Posiedon asked.

Jude turned to him. "I heard one of the other Hermes campers say that all of us exist 'cause our godly parent had sex with a mortal a year before we were born. Was he lying?"

Hades answered her. "No... but you're four."

"So?"

Hades looked at his brothers, as if asking 'You gonna help?'

Jude decided to ask something that she had been wondering since she came to camp. "Erm, mortals have a test that says who your mum and dad are. Do gods have it, too?"

Jude wasn't sure if the gleam that appeared in the Big Three's eyes was a good or a bad thing.
